While I think you have provided a realistic and thoughtful path forward here, as an American I bristle a bit at the casual way you just assume that the United States owns the reconstruction burden and cost, along with the fantasy that other Middle East countries will pony up. No thank you. This is the primary burden of Israel, as it is both their conflict and their bombing that is annihilating Gaza - and they are the primary beneficiaries. The United States is hopelessly in debt and we will undoubtably get the bill for reconstructing Ukraine, after we get done financing the destruction of it.
